In equation (REF ), \(R_{s}(u_i)\)  is directly proportional to \(F_{fol}(u_i)\)  and \(S(u_i)\) . Based on several studies [1]}, [2]}, [3]}, the \(R_{s}(u_i)\)  of a user is more dependent on \(F_{fol}(u_i)\)  and that is the reason we give importance to \(F_{fol}(u_i)\)  in comparison to \(S(u_i)\)  and \(F(u_i)\) . If a user \((u_i)\)  has a large number of followers then it is evident that the user is more reputed in his network. In addition, if a \(u_i\)  is more active in updating his/her status then there are more chances that the tweets from \(u_i\)  receive more likes and get retweeted. As \(F_{fol}(u_i)\)  and \(S(u_i)\)  increase, \(u_i\) 's social reputation \(R_{s}(u_i)\)  also increases and vice versa. Furthermore, if a user has less \(F_{fol}(u_i)\)  in comparison to \(F(u_i)\)  then obviously the \(R_{s}(u_i)\)  of a user is small. As can be seen from equation (REF ), there is an inverse relation between \(R_{s}(u_i)\)  and \(F(u_i)\) .
